Psalm 68:19 (NIV) – Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens.
Being in Christ doesn’t mean we won’t have burdens to carry in this earthly life. Many times, I would have surely crumbled beneath the weight of things, but He is my Burden-Bearer. I can cast my every care upon Him, no matter how small or how big. When life’s struggles have us weary and worn, HE bends down and lifts them off and carries them. At that moment when He comes, His peace fills our soul, joy fills our heart, and we can breathe again. Our hope is renewed. All because the “Burden-Bearer” came.
The joy of the Lord is our strength! When darkness surrounds, and we cry out, He gives us eyes to see Him drawing near. He gives us contentment in the difficult place. Without fail, Jesus is there! He holds us fast and calms all our fears. The peace that surrounds is a peace that surpasses all understanding.
If this is a place you are finding yourself in, call out to Him and hear Him say, I am here! I am with you. Give it all to me. You are not alone.

JANUARY 21, 2025 Psalm 77:5-6 I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.
